Group Level Wiki Technical Research Issue
Problem to solve
Currently group level Wikis are the MOST requested feature for GitLab. Due to the complex structure of repositories and name spaces they are a complicated technical problem to implement.
Further details
- There have been MR contributions that weren't finished due to the complexity of this feature and the current architecture
- Dependencies to Gitaly, Workhorse and Geo
Proposal
This issue serves as a technical discovery issue to develop an implementation plan for this feature. The goal of this discovery is to understand the dependencies with other services and changes that might need to be made to support this. We should be aiming for a true group level Wiki Repository and avoid hidden projects, or pinned project solution work-arounds.
